Abstract: A Driving operator for covering canvas (11) for an open top-body is disclosed, comprising 
a group of ribs sliding with their feet on the board (24; 104) of the top-body to support and spread/fold a covering canvas (11) for the top-body, 
a loop of cable (28; 106) having two traction-force application points which are adapted to pull a rib (12: 100) of said group, called pulling rib, to move it forwards and backwards on the board.  To avoid jamming of the cable and slanting of the centerings, means to vary the position of one or each application point according to the pulling direction of the cable are provided, said means being designed so that, for the pulling direction of the cable corresponding to the stretching of the canvas, at least the application point which is currently pulling moves upwards beyond the or to a point closer to the level of the edge of the board, and/or, 
for the traction direction of the cable corresponding to the folding of the canvas, at least the application point which is currently pulling moves downwards below the edge of the board, i.e. moving away from the edge of the board.

Abstract: The present invention improves efficiency of coding motion vectors when a current block is coded using a plurality of motion vectors. A motion vector coding unit (117) codes a motion vector inputted from a motion vector detecting unit (108). A motion vector for each current block is coded based on a difference between the motion vector and a predicted vector obtained from motion vectors for previously coded neighboring blocks. The predicted vector is generated by one of the following processing: (A) the motion vectors which refer to the same picture are selected from among the motion vectors for the neighboring blocks so as to generate the predicted vector; (B) the motion vectors for the respective neighboring blocks are ordered in the predetermined order, and the motion vectors of the same order rank are selected from the ordered motion vectors so as to generate the predicted vector; and (C) the predicted vector for the second motion vector of the current block shall be the first motion vector, and if the second motion vector and the first motion vector refer to different pictures, the first motion vector is scaled according to the temporal distance between the pictures so as to generate the predicted vector.

Abstract: A rotationally elastic coupling with two half-couplings can be twisted relative to one another, these half-couplings being connected with one another so as to transmit forces by means of a sprung intermediate link and by means of a movement-converting intermediate link which converts a rotation into a translational movement or, vice versa, a translational movement into a rotation. At least one sheet metal support is provided which is in contact at a radially outward position with one of the sprung intermediate links which in turn is supported rotationally solidly and frictionally at a radially inward position with one of the two half-couplings. The sheet metal support is subjected to forces directly or by means of a coupling element of the movement converting intermediate link, in particular an eccentric or a crank, this movement converting intermediate link being rotationally and rotationally solidly connected to the other half-coupling. Using such a coupling, practically linear and soft spring characteristics can be produced for high torques over twist angle ranges of far beyond 30 DEG .

Abstract: The invention relates to a composition and a process for the treatment, more precisely the "post-treatment" of phosphatized metal surfaces, particularly when the surfaces must be subsequently covered with a coat of paint. It relates also to a process for the preparation of the composition and a concentrate useful for this preparation. The composition comprises an effective proportion of trivalent titanium compound and it is presented with an acid pH, the proportion of said compound being sufficient for the corresponding composition to confer on the treated metal surface a protection equivalent to that obtained with known chromatizing solutions. More particularly, the composition contains trivalent titanium at a concentration of 0.01 to 2 g/l, preferably from 0.2 to 0.6 g/l and has a pH of 2 to 7. Reducing means can be arranged to regenerate the trivalent titanium in the treatment solution continuously.

Abstract: A door check wherein a housing is affixed to the pivotable panel and a guide rail is affixed to the frame of a door. The housing contains a shaft which is rigidly connected with one end of an arm the other end of which is slidably guided by the rail. The shaft carries a disc cam having two asymmetric sections one of which is tracked by a spring-biased follower surrounding an antifriction bearing and tending to return the panel to its closed position and the other of which is tracked by a roller on the piston of a damper which yieldably opposes the movement of the panel back to its closed position. The configuration of the two cam sections is selected with a view to allow for a reduction of the resistance which the follower offers to opening of the door shortly after the panel leaves its closed position as well as to ensure that the damper can operate independently of the follower and vice versa. The damper has a spring which urges the roller against the cam and whose bias is not more than 50 percent of the bias of one or more springs which urge the follower against the cam.
